Making connections and sharing information

Since its founding more than forty years ago, OCLC has been a leading international resource providing services to tens of thousands of libraries around the world at local, regional and global levels. The true value of what OCLC has to offer is in the combination of people, skills, histories and cultures, and each contributes to OCLC’s global vision. OCLC boasts outstanding employee satisfaction year after year. We are confident you will find OCLC an exceptional place to work.

Getting started

Making connections and sharing information and resources is what we do here at OCLC.

From the OCLC Career Center, you can view our current job openings to see if we can make a connection with you.

If you do not find anything at this time but would like to be considered for other future openings, you can create a profile and submit your résumé, which will be added to our searchable database.

You can access your online candidate profile at any time to make changes or submit your resumé for future position listings.

Via your profile, you may view your job submittal history and check the status of your job inquiry. You may also create up to five job keyword search agents that advise you when an opening is available that meets your keyword search.

After you apply

After you build your personal profile, you will receive an acknowledgment on screen and an e-mail confirmation will be sent to you. This indicates that your submission has successfully reached Human Resources. Due to the high volume of resumes received, we are not able to individually follow up to confirm receipt of submitted information or provide other status updates.

Human Resources will review your qualifications and résumé, compare your background and skills with those of other applicants, and then forward the résumés of the most appropriately qualified applicants to the hiring manager. If the hiring manager requests an interview, or if we wish to discuss your candidacy, we will contact you by telephone or e-mail.

If you are not contacted, your profile and résumé will remain in our searchable database for potential future review and consideration. To be considered for additional open positions displayed at the OCLC Career Center, you will need to apply for that specific position online.
